Before passing another vehicle on a two-lane road, the most important check is:
- A.That your car is faster than theirs
- B.That there is enough clear space ahead with no oncoming traffic, intersections, hills, or curves blocking your view
- C.That the driver ahead waves you on
- D.That you are within 100 feet of an intersection
Correct answer
B. That there is enough clear space ahead with no oncoming traffic, intersections, hills, or curves blocking your view
Why
Passing on a two-lane road puts you in the oncoming lane. Only pass where sight distance is long and the maneuver can be finished safely before any hazard.
